- schaefer 2y agoThanks for the head's up. I don't agree.

- schaefer 2y agoAlright. You are putting together a compelling argument for both skepticism and caution before placing an order for merchandise from the goodereader store. (not something I planned to do) -- How do you feel about their youtube channel where they review all the various devices in this market segment? Specifically, have you ever found their reviews to be inaccurate? Do you know of any alternative source of reviews in this market segment that is as comprehensive or experienced? One thing I'll say in favor is that they do send their writing staff to the various trade shows.
- yareal 2y agoThey specifically said, "their reviews are fair". Maybe you missed that part of their post?
- adiM 2y agoI found their reviews to be a bit too rosy and not highlighting the weak points of the products properly. But I do not find them to be biased. The most honest source is Voja's My Deep Guide Channel on YouTube. Very detailed and informative reviews.
- schaefer 2y agoI do like Voja as well. I just don't think he gets to review as many devices overall. But, it stands to reason that since Voja is not running an e-reader shop, that he would be more objective.
